Senior Sensations: Ball Handlers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>High schools across North Carolina are officially back in session which means basketball season is right around the corner.  There are plenty of seniors looking to make their last season their best season, so let's take a look at some of the ball handlers that I'm excited to follow this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["393661"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ef7bd968f6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>[player_tooltip player_id='393661' first='Brooklyn' last='Saunders'] is an excellent leader for her team facilitating offensive sets handling the ball, attacking the gaps, and making some nice passes to her teammates.  She can get to the rim easily making some nice change of direction moves making her defenders lose their footing.  She's a fierce defender herself stripping the ball away from her opponent to take the other direction for fast breaks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["671521"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ef7bd968ff1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>[player_tooltip player_id='671521' first='Samantha' last='Collins'] is a true hustler on the court going after loose balls and grabbing steals.  She can push the tempo, or she reads the floor well slowing the offense down when it's time to set something up.  She's patient waiting for the open lane or look, and she can get by any defender showing off her moves to create some space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["608122"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ef7bd969057"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>[player_tooltip player_id='608122' first='Chloe' last='Galombeck'] knows how to be shifty with the ball, and she keeps her eyes peeled for the best play to help her team get some points.  What's even more automatic than her ball handling is her shot from around the perimeter.  She can pull up quickly off the dribble, or she shoots well off the pass.  She's quick getting to the hoop finishing at the rim on both sides.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["515577"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ef7bd9690b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>[player_tooltip player_id='515577' first='Amya' last='Leathers'] is a high tempo guard who constantly pushes the ball up the court.  She can take it coast to coast scoring on fast breaks, or she makes the nice bounce pass right into her teammates' hands for the bucket.  She's a tough defender using her quickness and IQ to make it difficult for anyone to get the ball by her.  The way she can stop quickly helps her create space for her jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
